On Random Sampling over Joins

Summary: Random sampling over joins: feasibility of sampling join outputs without full evaluation; theoretical limits on efficiency. Proposes new join-sampling algorithms for settings where limits don't apply; empirical evaluation on SQL Server 7.0 shows efficiency gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
